I have yet to meet an Asian in Asia or the US who cares about the moral degeneracy and insanity of the West.
I have read that they are out there but I haven't experienced it.
America is still such as good place for Asian immigrants to make money and buy real estate, the ones here don't bother with the nonsense and in other countries America still owns the brand of freedom and democracy. Maybe part of it is the collapse of the American culture makes it easier for them to get ahead. 90 plus percent of the people who are flooding into the country can't compete with Chinese or Indians. Blacks definitely can't and whites can only compete because of their greater numbers.
I wonder at what point will the perceptions of America start matching the reality. Will it take economic collapse?
Maybe it all comes down to economics. When I lived in mainland China, Chinese told me that they would support the government as long as their lives continued to improve economically. Now under Xi, in global opinion polls, Chinese rate their government as the most responsive to their needs inspite or maybe because it isn't a democracy. People know whom to blame if things don't go well.
On a positive note, Thailand just banned the Future Forward party. It was the US generated and funded one that was being used for regime change. Even if the populace still worships America, many of the elite worldwide are starting to rebel at the thought of being vassals of the increasingly insane and impotent US
Down here in the south, twice in one one week, out of sheer surprise i challenged friends who both were expressing happiness that Kamala Harris was the Democratic candidate in the far off USA. I asked why that was a good thing. Both said that she seems like a nice person, plainly never having heard of her before. I told one young woman she had just been brainwashed, which she immediately denied. To paraphrase the great Mandy Rhys-Davies (look it up under Christine Keeler perhaps - figures from British history) 'Well she would say that, wouldn't she?'
A few scandalised fans defaulted to saying, essentially, you can take the Thai girl out of Thailand but you can't take Thailand out of the Thai girl. "Of course, she was always a stripper and pole dancer in disguise."

Why the pejorative slant on Thai girls?
Have you ever spent time in Thailand, or do media driven stereotypes impress your thinking?
Here's the full quote: "Though we didn’t argue today, it was still a stressful conversation. Speaking quietly in a monotone, Pale Man never laughs or even looks at you. It takes too much energy to show any emotion. I had to hunch forward and strain to catch anything. Barely audible, he’s a squinting ghost."
There's a local born-and-raised version of the thin, pale man here in Hastings, my small-town adopted home just north of Yonkers. I'm often at the VFW Square to catch a bus and his lunch-time schedule seems to intersect w/ mine. Sitting on a public bench, he smoking and drinking coffee and me w/ one eye out for my ride, our only reliable topic of conversation is the Yankees. They're his team and tho I'm a Mets fan, I follow those hated Bronx Bombers closer than I'd care to because I want to talk to him on occasion. The idea of giving him a cold shoulder just seems wrong. Other locals say he's a burn-out and a tragic figure. We all have past history, even if we don't wear it on our sleeve like this solemn wraith. He doesn't encourage company. But to me he's one of the harmless regulars about town, so deserving of my civic respect.
